Shareware
You have (30) days to evaluate UserNews, then register or remove it.
You use UserNews at your own risk. I will not be responsible for lost
data or any damage that the use or misuse of UserNews may cause. It's
been thoroughly tested on my system and works flawlessly here but I'm
just covering my assets. If you have any ideas & suggestions that can
improve on UserNews, let me know in the Intelec Network's PPL forum.
UserNews is not crippled in any way, all features are enabled so that
you may fully evaluate it. In the unregistered version, there's a "10
second delay" and an UNREGISTERED notice.
To Register
Registering UserNews removes the 10 second delay and the UNREGISTERED
display and replaces it with your personal registration number and ID.
Registration grants you a license to use UserNews on the (1) BBS that
it is being registered to and licenses may not be transferred.
Registration is only $10 U.S. Send checks or money orders payable to
Cliff Watkins at the address shown below. If you are outside the US
please only use Postal Money Orders in US $. Non-U.S. personal checks
cannot be accepted, please don't send cash! If in the U.S. include a
voice number and best time to reach you and I will call you with the
registration number and validation code. If outside the U.S. then you
must call my BBS for this info. There is no "online registration" at
this time, sorry. Thanks for evaluating UserNews! Look for my many
other fine PCBoard PPE utilities!
